Filmmaker Benjamin Hernandez, whose 1999 shot-on-video documentary The
Detroit Rock Movie features early footage of many of the town's
best-known bands-says, "We were kind of rushing to make that movie
because we all felt that this whole garage-rock thing was about to
become played out and this was going to fade. Amusingly enough, now
people are starting to notice." Initially, the only outlets for the
city's new rock'n'roll sound were Flying Bomb (run by Claydon and his
wife, Patti) and Detroit's Italy, which is operated by bassist Dave
Buick of the Go. Claydon says of his label and Buick's, "We both kind of
consider ourselves, like, necessity labels. People weren't putting out a
band, so we did it."
